⚠️SECURITY NOTICE⚠️
The M.E.G. has issued this warning for all wanderers currently residing in Level 78. Failure to adhere to the following message will likely result in death. Ignore it at your own risk.
The stability of Level 78 has been compromised — any people still inside the level are encouraged to enter the closest airlock possible. As a result of variations in gravity caused by an [[[Null-06|unforeseen electromagnetic pulse]]], the station is currently on a collision course with a rupture in the space-time continuum. Attempts to alter the trajectory have failed, so the only option now is evacuation. Upon collision, which is expected to happen sometime between 2:00 to 6:00 AM on 07/26/22, Level 78's space station is likely to disintegrate completely, making it unfit for life.
We urge wanderers to refrain from viewing or photographing the anomaly. The intense light emitted can potentially overstimulate the receptors in the eye, causing neuron damage and permanent blindness. Camera lenses will fry in seconds when exposed to the light, although taking a quick picture is still possible. Ultimately, for the safety of everyone involved, please do not stare at the anomaly, let alone attempt to explore it. We are not responsible for the loss of vision or life caused by willful ignorance.

SURVIVAL DIFFICULTY: Class Astral
- Cosmic Anomaly
- Spacetime-Altering Properties
- Potential for Celestial Lifeforms
Blip-03, codenamed "Ad Astra" by M.E.G. researcher Dr. Hawkins for its relative proximity to multiple star clusters, is a distortion of space and time located within Level 78. It is expected to annihilate what remains of Level 78's space station following an energy wave's destruction of the station's devices on 01/19/22.
Description
Ad Astra currently poses a threat to all organic matter inside Level 78. With an approximate diameter of 7.6 million kilometers, its estimated volume of 229.8 million km3 far exceeds the size of the space station in Level 78, which is estimated to be no more than 50 million km3. Based on short video clips and eyewitnesses,1 Ad Astra appears white to the human eye, with streaks of rainbow-colored light surrounding the main body.
Occasionally, Ad Astra will emit beams of microwave radiation without warning — the only indication of an incoming beam is a sudden increase in the anomaly's brightness. However, if one witnesses this occurrence, the beams will have already reached the station since microwaves and visible light travel at the same speed. Upon penetrating the station, these beams will temporarily disable all electronic communications for several seconds before the system reboots. Although generally harmless in the long run, these beams will cause wanderers to hear clicking noises2 as a natural consequence of inner ear exposure to microwave radiation.
URGENT NOTICE – 01/27/22 at 2:00 PM
⚠️CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS BROADCAST⚠️
Failure to account for gravitational time dilation has resulted in a mistake in the expected collision date. Collision is still expected in 6 months for those outside of Level 78, but those inside the space station can expect collision in exactly 2 hours from the reception of this message. At the strength of gravity the station is experiencing, every second spent there equates to approximately 36 minutes in Level 11.
Those who still have not evacuated are urged to do so. Time is running out.
